Swampert Question

Should I save my 90% 15 Attack Mudkip for it's CD? How does it compare to Kyogre with Hydro Cannon?

Definitely save it. You don't need a water attacker right now anyway.
It's gonna be about as good as gyarados compared to kyogre. Just a bit better.

It is. Still an upgrade over Gyarados with WF/HC in most cases. Gary might retain the edge in matchups against ground-type moves.

EDIT: meant WF/HC obviously.

Yes - I didn't know how to make them not show up together when customizing the species for the DPS/TDO rankings.

I just edited my post after removing water gun from Feraligatr's move pool.

Muddy Water is Swampert's signature move, even though I think it will be the same move as Hydra Cannon

It's going to be good with HC, save it.

I evolved my 98% 15 15 14 mudkip when i came back to the game before i had any idea or exclusive moves. It feels bad but at least we still have time to farm more High IV mudkips....but my 100% totodile that i evolved will forever haunt me :(
You can save that one but maybe also try having a friend trade you mudkips until you get a lucky one, it may not be over 90% IV but it will also be easier to power up. I'm trying to have one lucky mon for each community day since chikorita

What would you do with a Swampert now? Save it, it's going to be the best non-legendary water. Only reason to not care about incoming Hydro Cannon CDs is if you already have 6 Kyogres at high level.

depending if you have the dex entrie already i would defenitly not wait iwth registering it in your dex but do i little less good one for the registration and aftr that save up the candies

As the picture MasterMaverikk posted above indicates, it'll be just a hair slower than Kyogre but with less bulk. If you don't need the dex entry and/or Mudkip nest regularly near you I'd absolutely save it. I hatched a hundo Mudkip on Squirtle day that I'm saving.

Oh hey, look what I happened to hatch today!

Congratulations! I recommend you save this one for next year's July CD, as it'll most probably be Mudkip. Now the lower IV one can be your Swampert dex entry without worries.
